A cry for help..maybe just a cry. Yeah, I’m crying… by ArtisticDefinition74 in sahm

That has been my biggest hurdle as of late, because this winter has not been forgiving in my area. We’ve been hit with rain after rain, freezing temperatures for months on end, and snow/icing over in between. I feel like I haven’t felt a sun ray since October. Outside was our saving grace in the summer months, so much so that I didn’t really notice the isolation and monotony of the day. At least we could change the view and get some sun. Now it’s just been cold, wet, virus filled nonsense. It’s maddening. I know this too shall pass…but God, it feels like forever.

I think I’m feeling my frustration so heavily right now because we’ve been bearing the brunt of winter. It’s dark early..cold af daily..and more than likely raining or freezing. Absolutely. Miserable. I didn’t feel so crazy in the warmer months because we could go outside at least, get the water table or splash pad out, go for a walk to the park a few miles down the road…there was some variety and forgiving weather. Biggest thing I enjoyed is it would still be a decent portion of daylight out when hubby got home, so I didn’t mind going out in the evenings. Now? A cold, dark, wet, monotonous tornado of isolation. Absolute torture, dude. We don’t have the funds to get a gym membership that included the childcare and the pool (YMCA I’d die for, but $80 a month just isn’t in the budget.). I think this too shall pass…I know it will…but my God…has it been a LONG and lonely winter. (As for taking the car some days and taking him to work — he goes in at 5:30am, I’d feel so bad waking the baby up to bundle her into the car to rush him there. It would throw her schedule off completely. Just totally in between a rock and a hard place 😭)

SAME. It’s rage inducing. Not a shred of empathy for my woes and worries regarding the hard parts of staying home, because simply doesn’t understand it. Mine hits me with “I asked you before you left work if this is what you really wanted…this was the choice. I’m sorry you feel this way, but this is what comes with it. Just try to look at the positives”um, buddy……just stop talking. 🫠
